Ones you listed aren't bad. Anything by fractal design is good, phaneks p350x is nice. Unless you're running high end CPU and GPU overclocked, thermals won't be a huge issue so pick one you like the look of. Some might bit a little bit harder to build in that others but an extra half hour of work for something you look at every day is worth it IMO.

Think I'll go with the Cooler Master H500, a lot better airflow and I like the look.

I went with the Corsair 275r, due to the CM H500 being sold out all of the time and unstable prices. I like it.

Looks pretty good! Just and FYI, that grommet in the PSU shroud is also for the graphics card power cables if you want less showing in the case (I also think it looks cleaner with them going straight down vs wrapped around the end of the card).

I tried both ways and picked how it's currently routed.
The PSU area is super cramped, I have the case panel wires through there and it was just to cramped with the GPU cables there as well.

The corsair 275r is really nice. Just built my gf pc in it. The only issue is that it does not come with a top dust filter, which you will have to buy from corsair separately. Think it is about $15. Would really recommend it though for the look of the case, the ease of cable management, and the space for large components.
